5mph or less
I have a 15hp Nissan 4-stroke on a 14x32 Jon Boat and have a 13" pitch Powertech Prop and I get a max speed of 34.5mph.
not sure how wide your Jon boat is but I would go with a 3.5HP or 5HP outboard no bigger
About 10 to 12 on plane
A Johnson 2hp outboard motor can typically propel a 75-pound Jon boat at speeds of around 5 to 7 miles per hour, depending on various factors such as the boat's design, load, water conditions, and weather. The speed may vary with different configurations, but this range is a general estimate for such a lightweight setup.
I don't know but within a couple days I will know what it will do with 25....
I'm no expert, but it would have to do with the boat design it is on; the payload; and even which 9.8 (year wise) you had. I have a 9.8 on a 12' Jon boat and I'd say my top speed on smooth water on average is about 15-20 mph.
Depends on the boats capacity ratings plus your weight and gear. I fish a small river with a Mercury 2.5hp. Gets me where I want to go without paddling.
i have an 8 ft aluminum Jon boat and the weight limit is 350 lbs for all your gear and you.

A 16-foot Jon boat powered by a 35hp motor typically reaches speeds of around 25 to 30 mph, depending on factors such as load, water conditions, and hull design. Performance may vary with the boat's weight and the presence of gear or passengers. Generally, these boats are designed for stability and utility rather than high speeds.
A jon boat is a flat bottomed fishing boat. It is made of wood or aluminium. They may have up to three bench seats for passengers.They are usually 6.1 by 4.1 meters in size. They are not built for speed, they are designed to be slow.
